Wow! That was a tough one but what a season. This team has done everything we asked and was a pleasure to coach. We hold our heads high. Thank you to everyone who supported us along the way, it was a truly memorable season!

We are sad today to learn about the passing of our former standout and three time state champion Ronnell Grixby. Our condolences goes out to the entire Grixby family, you will be missed.

We added a 15th player to our roster for tonight… senior manager George Miedl is getting to suit up for the first time this season. He has done a tremendous job as our manager all year and it is much deserved!

Jay Saunders is Omaha South’s on-court coach. “In fact, he has to settle me down every once in a while,” Bruce Chubick Sr. said.
Saunders earned a first-team spot on the 55th World-Herald All-Metro Conference team.

Congratulations to our freshman team on an outstanding season! They came up just short tonight in overtime but the team always played hard, was very coachable and unselfish. They were a lot of fun to watch and big things are in the horizon with this group!

Thank you to everyone that came out this winter sports season to cheer on the Eagles and support Central athletics. We couldn’t ask for a better community or high school to be a part of and we can’t wait for what’s next!

My heart is broken for our school, for our seniors that we did not get the job done. These past couple days have been the most fun i have had in my entire life. These are my brothers for life, and i could not be more proud of that.
Omaha Central’s (
@OPSCHSBBB
) remarkable run — seven Class A titles in eight seasons — barely qualifies as “history.” It was just 2013.
But you’ve never seen anything like it in Omaha.
